Prince Harry accuses Queen consort Camilla of leaking private conversations to the media

 

Prince Harry says that Spare is a dialect of his story 'himself'.

After 38 years of "spin and distortion" by others, Prince Harry claims it is an attempt to "own" his story. He has justified his decision to write a biography that reveals divisions within the British royal family. Harry spoke on Britain's ITV network to promote his book Spare, which details personal emotional pain and sour family enmity.

Harry claimed in an interview broadcast on January 8 that members of the royal family "got into bed with the devil" to get positive tabloid coverage. Claiming that his family was "joined" in his wife Meghan's pain and suffering, Harry also alleged that his stepmother Camilla, the Queen consort, had disclosed private conversations to the media.

As a result of his marriage to multiracial American actress Meghan Markle, Harry claimed there was concern within the royal family about his unborn child's skin colour. He also said that the British monarchy should change its racial policies.

According to Harry, who also said the experience was an example of unconscious bias rather than racism, the royal family needed to learn and evolve to be a part of the solution rather than a part of the problem.

Harry comments that, if unconscious bias persists, it becomes racism. He claimed that the title of royalty comes with responsibilities, and people hold you to a higher standard than other groups.

Harry writes of his split from the royal family in the book that took place in early 2020, when his application for a part-time royal position was rejected. He draws comparisons between the removal of Meghan-Harry's taxpayer-funded protection and the removal of her uncle, Prince Andrew, as a working royal because of his links with US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Harry claims that despite the embarrassing episode, no one even thought to remove Andrew's security.

The allegations have not been officially addressed by the royal family, but sympathizers have responded to them largely anonymously.

The ITV interview is one of a number of interviews Harry has given as he looks to put more pressure on the royal family. He has also appeared on "60 Minutes," "Good Morning America" and "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
